Uma Musume English Edition Gallops onto Global Stage

Great news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime! Cygames has confirmed an English version of their popular horse-girl racing simulation game. A Japanese version already boasts excellent reviews.

What's New?

Cygames has launched official English-language resources: a website, a YouTube channel, and an X (formerly Twitter) account, ensuring global fans receive regular updates.

For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is a multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more. Its popularity stems largely from the success of the anime series.

Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, the game features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show, to become top idols. Characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have already appeared in global games like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.

When's the Release?

While a specific release date remains unannounced, the English version will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates. Here's the official trailer:

A playable demo of the English version will be available at Anime Expo 2024 (July 4th-7th, Los Angeles Convention Center).
